Washington Examiner, June 2023
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has been playing up his “energetic executive” pitch to voters as he battles former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, who are nearly twice his age.
DeSantis’s considerable age gap sets him apart from Biden and Trump in the 2024 race — both of whom are nearly twice his age. If the Florida governor wins next year, he will become the third-youngest president in U.S. history and the first from Generation X.
